FRANKFORT, Ky. — The Kentucky Arts Council has released a 2014 guide to summer arts programs hosted by Kentucky Arts Partnership (KAP) organizations throughout the Commonwealth.

The program guide, organized by county, includes half-day, full-day and weeklong camps with topics ranging from dance and music to clown skills and archaeology. Students interested in visual art, sculpting, theater, writing and puppetry will also find great opportunities.

"The Kentucky Arts Partnership organizations work hard to ensure that year-round participation in the arts is available to the people of Kentucky,” said Lori Meadows, arts council executive director. “The programs and camps being offered are a fun way for families to stay connected to the arts even while school is out.”

The Kentucky Arts Council, the state arts agency, creates opportunities for Kentuckians to value, participate in and benefit from the arts. Kentucky Arts Council funding is provided by the Kentucky General Assembly and the National Endowment for the Arts.
